3. SMILES OR OTHER IDENTIFIERS USED AS INPUT FOR THE MODEL
a. Input for prediction: A CAS Number was entered in the initial data entry screen. In the structure window, the molecular weight, structural formula and the structure of the input and SMILES notation is shown. If available, experimental determined values of melting point and boiling point are taken for input.
b. Descriptor values: As the substance is a solid, the model uses the melting point for estimation:
The following parameters were applied:
- Melting point: 283 °C (experimentally determined; Patent, Bayer AG; US3631074; (1969))

4. SCIENTIFIC VALIDITY OF THE (Q)SAR MODEL
a. Defined endpoint: Vapour pressure
